My guest is Grace Kocsko Vouvalis. Grace was a member from 1977 to 1984. Trained as a dancer, Summer Stage developed her vocal and dramatic skills. She is remembered for her portrayals of Cinderella, Tuptim in The King and I, Fiona in Brigadoon, and of course, Maria in West Side Story. She relocated to Florida where she worked as an ATF agent. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so, come along and have some fun. . .
We all have stories to tell and they can be heard here.
Welcome to Brave and Strong and True, a podcast created to engage Summer Stage alumni of all ages. I’m Bob Falkenstein.
Grace requests that anyone who would like to contact her here do so at gkvouvalis@gmail.com.
Correction: I said "MacNuggets" not "McDonald's."
Our music is composed and performed by Neil McGettigan https://neilmcgettiganandtheeleventhhour.bandcamp.com/releases
